¹Bangchidana a hehna a TOUPAN Zion tanu meipia tuam ahia: Israel kilawmna van akipan leiah a paikhe ta a, a heh niin a khengakna a theigige kei hi.

¹How hath the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

²Jakob tenna tengteng Toupana nawmvalha, a hehpih kei; a hehna ah Juda tanu kulh hatte a lai chima, lei toh a kilual in a koih hi; gam leh huaia lalte a hihninta.

²The LORD hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

³A heh mahmah naah Israel ki tengteng a sat tan; melma maa kipan a khut taklam a la kikta: mei kuang, kimvel hul bei bangin Jakob a kang beita.

³He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

⁴Melma bangin a thalpeu a laia, gal bangin a khut taklam toh a ding, mita dinga etnop huaite tengteng a that: Zion tanu puanin ah mei bangin a thangpaihna a sung bua hi.

⁴He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

⁵TOUPA melma bang a hong hi, Israel a nawmvalh ta; a inpite tengteng a nawmvalh veka, a kulh muanhuaite a hihseta: Juda tanu ah sunna leh kahna a pungsak.

⁵The LORD was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

⁶Huan hileh kilawm bangin, a biakbuk hiamgamtakin a la manga; a kikhopna mun a suseta: TOUPAN kikhawm thupi leh khawlni Zion ah mangngilhin a omsaka, a hehna thangpaihna in kumpipa leh siampu a musit hi.

⁶And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

⁷TOUPAN a maitam a paimanga, a munsiangthou a kiha, ainpi kulhbangte melmate khutah a peta hi: kikhop thupi ni bangin TOUPA in sungah belam a bawl uh.

⁷The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.

⁸Zion tau kulhbang TOUPAN suksiat a tumta; khau a zana, suse lou dingin a khut ala kei hi: himahleh leichian leh kulhbang a kap saka; a kigawp tuaktuak uh.

⁸The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

⁹A kongpite leiah a tum ua; a kalhna chiangte a hihsia a a kuaitan hi: dan om louhna namte lakah a kumpipa leh a lalte a om uh; ahi, a jawlneiten Toupa akipan meng a mu kei uh.

⁹Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.

¹⁰Zion tanu upate leitungah a tu ua, a pau kei uh; a lu jang ua leivui a khi ua; saiippuan a silh uhi: Jerusalem nungaksiangthouten lei lamah a lu uh a kun uh.

¹⁰The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

¹¹Khituiin a ka mitte a juaua, ka lungsim a mangbang, leitungah ka sin puak khiakin a oma, ka mite tanu siatna jiakin; khopi kongzingtea naupang tuailaite leh nawinelaite a sihbub jiak un.

¹¹Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

¹²A nute uh kiangah, Buhlehbal leh uain kaw om ahia? a chi ua. Khopi kongzingte miliamte banga a sihbub lai un, a nute uh ang sunga a kha uh sun buaka a om laiin.

¹²They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.

¹³Na kiangah bang ka theisak dia? Nang toh bang ka teh dia, Aw Jeursalem tanu? Aw Zion tanu siangthou, kon lungmuang theihna ding in, nang toh bang ka kikim sak dia? na siatna lah tuipi bangin a thupi ngala: kuan nang a honhih dam thei dia?

¹³What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

¹⁴Na jawlneiten bangmahlou leh haina nanga dingin mengmuhin a mu ua; na koltanna pi nawn dingin, na gitlouhna a mukhe kei uh: himahleh bangmahlou puakgik leh pimanga omna jiakte nang honmuh sak uh.

¹⁴Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

¹⁵Honpai kheng tengtengin nang a khut a uh a honbet khum ua; Jerusalem tanu a tek khum ua; a lu uh a kun khum uh, hiai khopi miten kilawmna buching, lei tengtenga nuamsakna, a chih uh ahi maw? chiin.

¹⁵All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

¹⁶Nang siatna dingin na melmate tengtengin a kam uh lianpiin a ka ua: hiai ni I ngakngak uh a himahmah hi; I mukhetaa, I muta uh.

¹⁶All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.

¹⁷TOUPAN a lunggel a hihtangtungta nidang laia a thu a piak a hihtangtunga; a paita, a hehpih kei: na tunga melma a kipak saka, na galte ki a tawisangta a.

¹⁷The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.

¹⁸TOUPA kiangah a lungtang a kikou a: Aw Zion tanu kulhbang, sun leh janin khitui luipi bangin luang suk sakin; khawl kipe kenla; na mit tang khawl sak ken.

¹⁸Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

¹⁹Thou in, janin ki kouin, vente kipatnaah; TOUPA mai maah tui bangin na lungtang sung khiain; na ta tuailaite hinna adingin amah lamah na khutte lik touin. kong chiteng tunga gilkial jiak-a bah.

¹⁹Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

²⁰Aw TOUPA, en inla, ngaiin, hichibanga na hihna; numeiten a gah uh a ne ding uam, khuta oiha om naupangte? TOUPA munsiangthou sungah siampu leh jawlnei thaha om ding uh hia?

²⁰Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

²¹Kongzingte ah leitungah tuailaite leh putek a um ua; namsauin ka nungaksiangthoute leh ka Tangvalte a puk uh: na heh niin amaute na thata; na thata, na hehpih kei.Kikhawmpi thupi lai bangin, mun cihah ka launate na sama, TOUPA heh niin kuamah suakta hiam, om hiam a om kei uh: huai ka donteia ka khoilette lah ka melmain a gaita hi.

²¹The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.

²²Kikhawmpi thupi lai bangin, mun cihah ka launate na sama, TOUPA heh niin kuamah suakta hiam, om hiam a om kei uh: huai ka donteia ka khoilette lah ka melmain a gaita hi.

²²Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
